About

This bridal hair and makeup studio was founded about a decade ago by Janelle Thomason, who owns it. According to the salon, it has offered bridal hair and makeup for more than 11 years and serves over 200 brides a year, as well as bridal parties. Corporate and event clients named on the site include Weight Watchers, the North American Auto Show, Hap, General Motors, Miss Universe Org, DPTV, FOX Sports and Ford Motor Co. The studio also works closely with Va Va Voom Boudoir Photography and Emma Burcusel Photography.

Bridal work is the studio's core. Hair and makeup are done on site, and the same artists who work the wedding day also complete the bridal trial. Clients book a wedding date with the bridal specialist first, then book a trial for the bride and any additional guest; a trial can be booked before a wedding booking and deposit, though its date and stylist are not guaranteed. Backup staff are available if a scheduled stylist is sick or injured. Bridal bookings need at least five services to dispatch a stylist. Additional fees can apply: a 20% holiday fee on bridal totals, a $500 hotel fee per two stylists for locations more than 120 miles away, a $100 fee per half hour for appointments before 7 am, and a 3.5% fee on credit card payments. Booked brides receive 20% off other services with the studio. The studio recommends booking nine to twelve months ahead, and summer and fall dates often book twelve to eighteen months out. Prices are reviewed each year, and brides with a contract keep the prices written in it. Payments are non-refundable under the contract, and cancelling a wedding requires written confirmation.

Outside of weddings, the studio offers brow shaping, tweezing, waxing and lamination; lash extensions, fills, lifts and tints; facials including an acne-focused option; and waxing. Party services include eye sets priced per guest and custom lip gloss and eyeshadow palettes. Makeup lessons, called Glaminars, are one-hour sessions for one person covering daytime, evening and special event looks. A free color consultation lets clients try on Cosmakery products to find matching shades. The studio says its lash and brow specialists are certified and that its bridal makeup artists are licensed. Services are by appointment, Monday through Sunday, and the office is open Tuesday through Friday, 10am to 4:30pm.

The studio describes it as clean and cruelty-free, with brushes that are 100% vegan. Gift cards are sold as eGift cards in set amounts or a custom amount.

Builds a natural, polished look with a touch of glam around each client's personal style, using the studio's own Cosmakery line.
